Decided to take the RRS off road. Ended up at Wildomar OHV park because the N. Main divide was closed.
Scratched the **** out of my paint.
The car handled incredibly even with stock tires. Amazing in fact.
But alas, the paint is destroyed on my 2010
oh well. Looks like a good buffing might get about 80-90% of it out. but the rest is jacked!!!

Oh and the back window, driver side doesn't go all the way up and as a result won't actually close either.

be nice to see pics.

i did the same thing a few months ago. trees can be unforgiving. it cost about $400 at a detail place to do a three stage buff to get everything out. it worked and was worth it.

however, dont expect them to do anything with all the plastic accents. there's no way to really buff that out. you just have to replace them.

next time, either apply

That OHV park is the perfect place to go for custom pinstriping. I have been there a couple times in my Ranger and most of the trails will leave your vehicle scarred. Have you taken North Main Divide? It's not much of a challenge, but there are several areas where you can appreciate the Rover's articulation and the view from Santiago Peak is awesome on a clear day.

Any pics of your excursion?

I have several movies which I'll post today.
Haha, I was thinking of inventing this pressure tape myself so now I guess I don't have to. I wish I'd known about it yesterday. It's my first 4WD vehicle so I'm learning as I destroy.
Maybe I'll ask questions next time BEFORE I go.

One thing I learned early on is "as slow as possible, but as fast as necessary". This should help some with the "destroy" part. :thumb:
